@@chuy3840 specialists no, abilities... Kinda: - each faction has 3 character who are entirely cosmetic. - each faction has a choice between 2 abilities with generally somewhere in the range of 30-45 second cooldowns as well as a passive. - each faction has an "Uber" usually being a special weapon (flamethrower or bubble shotgun) or supercharged version of an ability (AoE EMP or over health field). These do not make the person unstoppable btw in fact they are very counter able. That's really about it, 90% of your time is gunfighting, you get 1 grenade per life (unless you play Dedsec who's passive prints new grenades over time), and you really need to play objective to get xp for your guns and get the most gunfights.

[@j.d.123]

Heads up for possible future news, but I've some "stuff" in my 40 levels played. Im on console, so i have IBMM turned on. However, and you may have noticed as well, when I join a new lobby and the screen populates the player list (name, console, input type, etc), i will often see keyboard and mouse show up as the input, but then quickly switch to controller. I figured it might just be a loading glitch where it sees PC and just shows KBM anyways for a sec, but i investigated a bit further. I watched who had the KBM icon for a moment in the next few games. Every one of them was CRACKED compared to the rest of the leaderboard with regards to accuracy and movement, and this spans like 4 or 5 different players i watched/followed. I believe the PC players have found a way to mask the keyboard/mouse as a controller, which the game doesnt have anyway of preventing as of current. For example, programs like inputmapper let you spoof a PS controller as an Xbox one, meaning the software that's supposed to interpret input types, your computer's OS in this case, thinks its something different. If this was available in any way for kbm, it can and will cause issues for anyone not intending to play against someone using wholly different peripherals than the game thinks they are.

[@TheNeoSabre0]

This is false I'm afraid and already been addressed, I tested it myself you're locked to the peripheral you search with. So if I input on my keyboard then click search then plug in my controller it literally wont let me use my controller in game until the game is over and I exit the lobby. I'm pretty sure this was addressed by the devs a couple of weeks ago.

[@j.d.123]

@@TheNeoSabre0 You wouldn't be searching with KBM if you're spoofing it as a controller to your computer before starting the game...you can also map the "navigation" buttons to the kb, meaning you don't need the kbm UI. The game wouldn't know it was a kbm because you would start the software that spoofs it BEFORE launching the game, meaning you'd be searching WITH a kbm AS a controller. So no, it hasn't been disproven at all, infact I was able to replicate it on my own PC. Don't spread lies, bro...

Playing the objective is fun, but it’s not as rewarding if you are a solo player and everyone on your team is doing their own thing. You can impact you team way more if you can get a score streak to help defend an objective

[@OgKamoGaming]

No problem. Add Xdifient to My never play again list.

[@JbowenDaMan]

That’s fair, COD is still alive and pumping. That’s the best part about this situation, more games to play with more variety!

[@dalejones6248]

"Waaaaaaaaah"

[@biggienotsmall4463]

i feel like a lot cod players are so used to just going for kills in tdm games but never play objective games. and you have your abilities that are driven by your SCORE. there are definitely things to work for, it just takes more than a few kills to get them.

[@JbowenDaMan]

With time, these players will hopefully understand the enjoyment factor of this game.

[@conor-_C]

Would die if no cod players played

[@JbowenDaMan]

True, but I don’t think COD players are gonna keep this game alive regardless. More than likely they will all move on to the next COD game, so Xdefiant has to find a core audience for themselves or it’ll suffer.

[@FlexiMoro-p2p]

​@@JbowenDaManIt's already suffering, Ubisoft has once again proved how incompetent they are. This game was already dead the moment Ubisoft decided to pick it up

[@brandonroopnarine898]

Why do you need kill streaks when you already have abilities. That make that game so unbalanced not to mention it would kill gun gameplay

[@quis_is_here6621]

Eh, this game is the perfect example of “it’s alright”

[@overpoweredcasual2599]

Hey that's what I say about cod. I like your opinion

[@skillexe_tv4794]

God bless there is no dropshotting 2

[@beanburritozz3044]

I miss dropshotting

[@Kinessmata-Akkadian]

I remember a few years ago I was on BO4 fighting a full stack of sweats. Like, full on spawn trapping, me questioning if they're running Cronus and stuff, max streaks and UAV spam 24/7 in the air, sweats. I was the only person in that lobby who could have any chance of fighting back, but I decided to help my team the best I can by pulling out my Titan FMJ 1+2, and become a human SAM turret. Ended that game with more score than half the enemy team despite the sweat they put off and them even shooting my body every time I took down their streaks. And trust me, I was taking down EVERYTHING. Players only focusing on streaks and nothing else has always pissed me off, especially since MW'19.

[@JackLeftTown427]

I will say there are exceptions. Escort if your squad can kill off the enemy while you’re on the escort bot then they have to respawn a mile away from the obj and give you time to advance it farther. Hotshot you need those kills and if you’re lucky they’re grabbing the tags so the hotshot can focus on getting their kills and grabbing the bonus points for their own tags. That’s what I do.

[@MichealM17]

I love how people call it bunny hopping like no one remembers these halo2 jumpers in Lobbies

[@triscitt]

I made a comment on a another video kinda sharing similar thoughts. I agree, i think the killstreaks dont really fit into team based modes, the only way i could see them doing that where it feels right is if they split the game modes into two. Called something like "merc modes" and "team modes" that would allow people to use streaks in the merc modes while the team based modes dont have them. Merc modes can include: - tdm - hotshot - ffa - grind - infection Team modes include: - escort - dom - ctf - zone swap (hardpoint) - koh Then maybe down the line they could add party modes. But i dont really see them doing this because even though it would allow for a more broad audiance, they still have to iron out the hit reg and stuff. I know they are working on it im just saying that working on it doesnt mean its gonna come out tomorrow.

[@lampshady5790]

This is something that's been a problem for alot of previous cod killers. The players kill their own game trying to just go for kills and making it unplayable for casuals and make long time players quit.

[@jonathyncarter]

the Ultras in Xdefiant are basically streaks that you work towards that can literally flip a game lol this game is incredible as is, loving it!

[@cunknown777]

When they unlocked the mega-sniper rifle is the same moment I deleted the game.

[@TheGamingGhost574]

Yeah honestly im tired of constantly getting teammates who refuse to go for the objective because thats the point of the game, stop trying to go for like 40 kills and 2 deaths and focus on the actual objective

[@noRagretz]

The game is fine as is, the more it starts feeling like a Cod the faster it’ll die.

[@consumedbyai]

I’m so hooked on this game. I’m level 31 and went 59-16 on a game of escort last night before hopping off

[@Salvation4U]

Did you win the match? or did it turn into a death match like I've seen many times.

[@consumedbyai]

@@Salvation4U nah we won, it was a close match 71% to 66%

[@JbowenDaMan]

This game is truly addicting bro, hopefully I’ll see you in some matches sometime.

[@Recogneyez]

It's funny how cod players want streaks and uav and stuff. But wait, isn't that already cod? Why don't you just play cod? Remember that game you like lol

[@NostalgiaNet8]

It's so sad how they don't understand competition is a good thing. Ever since the competition between CoD and Battlefield ended, both series just stopped trying.

[@Jarjarfunk]

Tdm and FFA would saciate some of the fraggers (they could just play hot shot though) but they for sure need search and destroy like game mode or a 1 life round based system

[@jayrock825mc7]

I completely agree. The best thing about this new game is that I think it becomes more like a shooter DBD where they could get more licenses for more characters as time goes on, and we could have a huge roster in the future

[@darkside7802]

Not every game needs abilities, killstreaks, perks, attachments, etc. It’s actually horrible. Thats why I’ll always consider the worst Halo titles to be better than the best of other FPS games with loads of hand holding BS in them. What ever happened to just…being able to shoot? You can’t play unless you hide with perks and get killstreaks that play for you? CoD isn’t even good. It’s popular for the same reason the “I called Sonic.exe at 3am!!!!” Videos here on KZbin. It’s made for kids.

[@DevlVergil]

Recently saw a tweet by XDefiant Competitive asking if the CDL weapon bans should be applied to xDefiant Ranked too (basically cutting out 95% of the weapon choice). And actually 2/3 of the people voted for "yes".The COD community is truly insane. The biggest reason why COD ranked is so god damn lame is because they cut out all variety just for the sake of it, not even because some weapons or weapon types are too op, they do it just because they can. I think there's hardly any community out there more stupid than the COD one.

[@bryan369dandovueltaenelavion]

I don’t play ranked cod for that exact reason That and the hidden Mmr

[@cracklasco]

I’m a COD player and I LOVE this game. Made me realize, even though I’ve had fun playing recent games from Cold War to MW3. I didn’t realize how STRESSED I felt playing the game compared to Xdefiant, especially how straightforward the camo grind is. A bit too long, but damn is this overall fun actually playing the objective alongside ranking up your gun.

[@Anvilosrs]

I agree 100 percent! Tbh i never played obj back in cod because it felt more rewarding for me to go for killstreaks but now in this game im literally just playing to get player of the game which playing obj plus getting high kills gets you so much points. I currently play Phantom and it does a great job.

[@sidzaman3009]

Agree and am glad there's no kill streaks in xdefiant. The game runs smoothly with limited campers and is really fun to play. This came can strive alongside cod for players that want a more chilled experience when they're fed up of cod.

[@SakuyaFM4]

6:38 BTW the "pill bottle" is still a team ability lol. Anyone in range of your passive gets healed when you use it.

[@JbowenDaMan]

yeah I mentioned in the video a bit later that it's useful for modes like escort when you are constantly moving. But the box is by far the best for modes like DOM and hardpoint when you gotta keep multiple people healed for long periods of time in specific locations.

[@greyfivenine7005]

I think game effects and events like in The Finals would be a fun addition, at least in a LTM maybe.

[@chzy_hokage2998]

As a CoD player that came into this game, I love it. Been having a blast learning the play style. But I have noticed that a LOT of players just like to frag and don't play the OBJ. It's super annoying. Kills DON'T MATTER and I need these people to understand that aspect. I've lost more games than I've won because of the ways the people play. Smhhhh

[@andre7089]

Nah i feel them though, honestly alot of gamers do this all the time, like think about literaly anyone who wasnt used to halos single movement speed back in the day and would be like “this game needs sprint” and so on. I just feel bad that cod fans cant get a decent experience so they try to find clones in hopes of the games transforming into cod

[@JbowenDaMan]

Very true, good points

[@emmanuelcalderon1982]

The most frustrating thing about call of duty for me was teammates not playing the objective.

[@N3FFSTER]

The Cod community treats all objective game modes like TDM with optional quests, and hardly encourages teamwork. Stuff like that kills the game for many people

[@Raansu]

People asking for streaks and other garbage that they need to "work towards" are just highlight hunters that treat everything like TDM. They can't seem to understand that XDefiant is a objective based shooter and the goal they need to play towards is winning the match and building their ultimate.

[@ItzMelodic]

the fact they feel the need to play the game and then go crash out in the discord server about how it's too sweaty tells us everything we need to know about them

[@beanburritozz3044]

The game isn't sweaty though. It feels like old cod, everyone is having fun

[@frp_freddy]

video starts at 2:20 Most people dont realize it but the executive dev at ubisoft now was the same person to bring us cod4 / mw2 / mw3 / ghost. he spent 10 yrs at Activision

[@YSo_Joker]

I’m a COD player but it’s refreshing to play a game that’s not COD. What Ubisoft did with a free to play game is cool. But Ubisoft have a bad record of leaving or no longer supporting their games.

[@murilloneres22]

This will become more evident when the ranked queue is launched, COD players will kill 100, lose the match and say ''my team sucks'' and their objective score will be at 0.

[@tktxlegend4540]

I'm regularly dropping 30-40 kills a game on Domination and getting player of the game nearly every match. It's actually amazing how good this game feels without SBMM. The people whining about this game being bad are people who got their hands held by CODs manipulative EOMM system. Also, the people who feel like there's nothing to work towards in a match don't care about winning. They only care about getting kills. That's why they don't feel like theres anything to work towards. They don't care about winning, so there's nothing for them to work towards.

[@TheCatalystOG]

Great video! XDefiant is definitely different from COD. I know our squad has been playing XDefiant like crazy!

[@Thaxan95]

as a cod and what my friends call me the sweat of the group. i agree with you. i lost 3 escort games back to back due to people leaving mid match and im the only one fragging out and play obj. it sucks, but i understand the point of the game and i can see that it doesnt need streaks.

[@OhHeyItsJessica]

They only want streaks because they can no longer put "Highest Kill game" in their title without them.

[@inquisidor1]

I was playing while hearing your video, and went 26 and 20 but top of scoreboard for more the 50% push in the objective, i feel rewarded for being an objective player
